Hospital emergency rooms in the Boston area were on high alert again in the early-morning hours on Friday. Locked down, with no one allowed in or out. It has been a long, tense week here, one marked by sorrow and anger, resilience and heroism. I witnessed all of that and more Monday at in the Brigham and Women's Hospital emergency room, where 31 of the victims of the bombing at the marathon were taken.
